Junior IOT
Junior IOT delivers technology workshops to primary schools, secondary schools and upwards. The workshops are set-up to be inviting and inclusive, helping both the learners and the teachers to find the subjects attractive and approachable:
I can do this.
Our hands-on approach uses real-life components and processes that learners can later in the industry. This help build the bridge between their time in school and their later work life.
Junior IOT now presents ‘Chips in Schools’. This is meant as a series of STEM and technology workshops as an introduction into the Semicon and Microelectronics sector. More details are available in our Chips in Schools flyer (english)
Many people from the semicon industry have participated in this workshop. Together we’d like to share our findings: This workshop is important for learners of 7 to 77 years old!
An early activation to create a sustaining impact
To address the skills gap, it is advised to start inspiring students for technology at an early age. You can read this conclusion as an advise for long term measures in the report ‘Skills Strategy 2025, Update on the Talent Gap in the EU Semiconductor Ecosystem’: https://chipsacademy.eu/news/ecsa-skills-strategy-2025/
The Junior IOT workshop series is delivered across primary and secondary schools, where our hands-on workshops create a powerful and personal engagement with the technology skills that will drive the modern chips sector.
Discover technology together
Junior IOT presents workshops around STEM and technology including hardware, software and engineering skills. These workshops allow the schools in Europe a hands-on approach for technology inspiration in primary, secondary, and advanced education. In specific area’s, Junior IOT experts teach the workshops to the students in the schools. Junior IOT can also arrange for teach-the-teacher sessions for the teachers in the schools.

Hardware, software and engineering: Fun and inviting technology workshops
Our accessible workshop series begins with Soldering & Electronics, expanding into hardware, software and
engineering skills. The work style of Junior IOT is created around sustained, curiosity-driven technology engagement. The workshops are so exciting that students and educators just do not want to stop!
- Electronics & Soldering
- 3D Design & 3D Printing
- Building & Programming
- Chips in Schools (new)
Electronics & Soldering
Learners are guided to learn from each other, after their first soldering connection. Soon they discover how to build their own inspiring electronics creations.
3D Design & 3D Printing
We introduce design and prototyping skills using TinkerCad or SketchUp Web. This is an excellent environment for students to work together to design their own 3D creations, learn to use the 3D printer and to discover and grow their own engineering skills.
Building & Programming
Our programming workshop is designed to use hardware components from earlier sessions to learn programming using a blocks based interface. This provides schools with a much simplified approach, enabling confidence in the schools to build their own projects on top of this workshop.
Chips in Schools
With ‘Chips in Schools’, Junior IOT launches a new series of accessible workshops to discover Chips and Microelectronics. Starting with ‘Chips in LEDs’, learners engage with chips at microscopic scale, gaining an ‘inside’ view of the chips production pipeline. Their first hands-on introduction into the world of semiconductor technology helps them in creating a long lasting connection with this important sector!
The launch moment for ‘Chips in Schools’ at Semicon 2025, is on friday november 21, 2025. This launch is part of the ‘From Classroom to Cleanroom: Building the Talent Pipeline’ sessions in the TechArena: https://www.semiconeuropa.org/From-Classroom-to-Cleanroom%3ABuilding-the-Talent-Pipeline
Chips in LEDs
The ‘Chips in LEDs’ is the first workshop in the ‘Chips in Schools’ series. https://junioriot.nl/eu-chips-in-leds/
At Semicon Europa 2025 in München, we introduce this workshop to the Semicon public: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/marcovanschagen_semiconeuropa-semicon-technology-ugcPost-7395738187597512704-zcLf?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAABxJ2YB9L71U9KeqquVHa8u1WlysnSVqwU

Attracting young talent:
As per the newest advice, the semicon industry now wants to reach out to learners also in primary and secondary school levels. This is where our new workshop series will help: Our workshops are accessible and attractive to both primary and secondary education, to inspire more young people for #semicon #technology.
Walk & Talk:
On wednesday, November 19, we will have a table at the EU Innovation cluster, Hall c2, C2319. We have all our workshop materials ready for you to look at and to play with. Just walk by and chat about #technology and #opportunities 🙂
Live demo:
On friday 11:40-12:15, November 21, I’d like to invite you to visit our new ‘Junior IOT: #Chips #in #Schools‘ workshop demo session, in the #TECHarena, Hall #C1. Just like a real classroom, we will have materials for you actively join the workflow. You can bring your own laptop, and we will have some extra laptops available 🙂
Check the updated timing here: https://www.semiconeuropa.org/From-Classroom-to-Cleanroom%3ABuilding-the-Talent-Pipeline
Please join and experience how technology is made into a fun experience for all age groups 🙂
Give Semicon talent a boost:
We are looking for partners and funding to bring these workshops into more EU schools: Do you want to you help create the talent of the future?
#discover #technology #together
Detailed workflow description for ‘Chips in Leds’ will follow soon!
Invitation for strategic partnerships
We invite partners to join us in creating this new generation of young people with a passion for Microelectronics and the Chip technology. Engaging the learners from an early age is a critical long-term activity to strengthening the EU Talent Pipeline. You can help Junior IOT in the co-development of new workshops and to provide funding to bring our series to schools across Europe.
